Horizon Hideaway – Puerto Plata & San Juan

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 8 nights from Port Canaveral on October 17, 2026, visiting St. Thomas, San Juan, Puerto Plata (Amber Cove) and Celebration Key. The sea days come first, which means no rushing to get off the ship on day one. You hit the ports relaxed and ready. The Caribbean route takes in U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic and Bahamas, 4 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Don't rush through St. Thomas, which is known as US Virgin Islands' duty-free harbour paradise. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Carnival Vista keeps you well fed. 14 places to eat, with 7 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Port Canaveral before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. All told, 4 ports across 8 nights covers a lot.
